The townhouses at Springhouse Pond Condominiums in Sudbury are set among gently rolling lanes in a woodland setting. Neighbors often get together at the clubhouse and swimming pool, or enjoy a walk to nearby shops and restaurants along a private wooded path.

The over-55 community includes 39 units on 25 acres abutting conservation land. Designed with gables, dormers, covered porches and picket fences, these high-end condos are clustered around a green in a New England-style development.

The eight-room townhouse at number 233 Nobscot Road is one of three models available in the development, but includes custom details added by the homeowner, an award-winning interior designer. The townhouse was featured in Spectacular Homes of New England.

The 3,489-square-foot home is listed by Fern Firth of Coldwell Banker for $739,000.

“Here you also have a swimming pool and a clubhouse,” said Firth. “There is also a sidewalk to a shopping center. That’s a rarity in a suburban town, to be able to walk to all of those places.”

The shopping center offers a major grocery store, a restaurant, a Starbucks, CVS and more.

Springhouse Pond is also convenient to major commuter routes.

The townhouse has both a public and private face. Its covered front porch has a view of the lush grassy common and makes a nice place to watch the world go by, while the serene deck in the back yard abuts acres of woodland and offers total privacy.

Shut the front door and the condo becomes a private sanctuary, large enough to spread out and not feel cramped, but small enough for those who want to trade in a big house for maintenance-free homeownership. The floor plan also offers flexibility for homeowners downsizing, but who may want to keep some furniture for a den or family room.

A white picket fence frames the house with its wide covered porch and curved brick path to the covered front entrance. Sliding doors from the kitchen dining area also open to the porch.

A condo fee covers landscape maintenance outside the fence, as well as many other services, but homeowners can personalize the gardens immediately around their home.

“Making the transition from a house to a condo can be difficult, but here you have your own yard, and within the picket fence, you can do whatever you want,” said Firth.

The front door opens to a foyer and a soaring two-story cathedral ceiling living room with a gas fireplace and magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows with transoms. There are double sliders to a deck from the 18-by-16 space, which provides additional space for outdoor entertaining. The room also has an entertainment center concealed in a custom cabinet.

The 15-by-13 dining area is a continuation of the living room and has an open feel due to a custom half wall with a column it shares with the foyer.

The staircase at the corner of the room is angled to create a hallway to a half bath and a serene master bedroom with two walk-in closets and a luxurious full bath with a whirlpool tub, glass-front shower, double vanity and a separate room with a toilet.

Double French doors from the foyer open to a den, a sunny, flexible 13-by-12 space.

The country kitchen has an open feel with its adjacent family room, another flexible 12-by-12 space that can be used as a dining area or den. It has double sliders that open to the covered front porch.

“This is a versatile floor plan because you could use the dining area as a den and still have space for a breakfast table,” said Firth. “It has that flexibility.”

The 20-by-13 kitchen has cherry cabinets with under-mount lighting, granite countertops, a center island with a trash compactor, double ovens and a gas cooktop. There’s a good transition space with an oversize window between the kitchen and family/dining area that can accommodate a desk and shelves.

A mudroom/laundry room is off the kitchen and has access to a two-car garage.

The second floor has a bedroom, a full bath and a loft area that could make a nice office space or sitting room.

The finished, carpeted basement is pure bonus space with a 37-by-14 game room with a sauna, two guest rooms with closets and a full bath as well as a large storage area.

The townhouse has gas heat and central air conditioning.
